I would add Mark Knopfler. I can jam many hours to his solo in the live versions of Sultans of Swing.

My first electric guitar was owned by him at one point, I bought it from a friends dad who played in blues bands with him back in the 60s... you would not believe how little I sold that for.

Greatest drummer to ever live.

Great film is Whiplash.

Mick Ronson always a big favourite of mine. Among his countless great moments, the stretch starting at around 3:20 here gets me every time:

I could watch this young lady slaying the drums all day. Age 10 in this one.



Age 8 in this one. She is drumming for fun and you can see the joy on her face. Amazing.

not sure I'd agree that its the greatest of all time but it certainly extends the emotion of the song into the solo. Considering what his contemporaries were doing with a guitar, he was light years ahead of them, the three of them created a massive sound. Three top drawer musicians.
